Summary

Skilled and adaptable professional with a diverse background across hospitality, retail, construction, and the cannabis industry. First introduced to the workforce through my family’s restaurant, I developed a solid foundation in customer service and food safety, earning my Serve Safe certification while attending a culinary course at Sowela Technical Community College in Jennings, Louisiana. I further pursued education at the University of New Orleans, gaining retail experience at an Italian import store before shifting to a role as a heavy machinery operator at Progressive Construction. Recently, I completed a six-month cannabis certification from LSU, and I am now working with Billeaud Companies in Youngsville, Louisiana, seeking to transition full-time into the cannabis industry.
